Amateur Radio — Live from the Jamboree!

Jamboree QSL Card

Not able to attend the 2013 National Scout Jamboree?

Here's how to engage with K2BSA and Jamboree participants as well as Jamboree visitors via amateur radio. Note --- point your beam at West Virginia! The K2BSA QRZ.com page has been updated with the correct coordinates, QSL info, etc.

D-Star: WV8BSA and Reflector 033A --- note that during the Jamboree WV8BSA is locked to REF033A, the dedicated Scouting reflector, to avoid problems with linking and unlinking with each operator's preferences.

QSL routing info can be found on QRZ.com You can check the logbook via ClubLog here. There is also an online QSL request window on that page, SASE to K5ND will work, plus Logbook of the World will have all QSOs after the Jamboree. All overseas QSLs will also be sent via bureau.
